Description

The Atoma Advanced Diamond Sharpening Plate #140 Grit is specifically designed for repairing chipped knives and flattening whetstones. It is an essential tool for maintaining and restoring the flatness of your whetstones.

Compared to traditional whetstones, the main advantage of using an Atoma plate is its ability to remain flat over time, providing consistent performance and longevity. The Atoma #140 is a staple grit for general whetstone flattening, covering a range from low to medium grits.

To use the plate, mount your whetstone in a stone holder and rub the Atoma plate on top of the whetstone in various directions until the stone is effectively lapped.

Atoma Diamond Sharpening Plates are products of Tsuboman, a highly regarded Japanese manufacturer known for their refined diamond products. These plates are made of mono-crystalline diamonds with a cutting abrasive surface mounted on a 10mm thick stainless steel base. The base is machined to be extremely flat, ensuring the diamond plate remains flat throughout its use.

The quality and durability of Atoma plates are among the highest available on the market. They feature precision-made surfaces with high uniformity, maintaining their flatness even after prolonged sharpening sessions. The diamond plate can be replaced after a few years without purchasing another baseplate, as they are adhered using strong double-sided tape.

Atoma Diamond plates can be used dry or with water, depending on personal preference.
